Chicago in War is a series of events, art shows, and performances that explores the continued rupturing of the traumas of war in everyday America.

Chicago is in a war! The occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan have and will continue to leave deep scars in our hearts, minds; and for some of us these scars are emblazoned on our physical bodies and memories. Too often these occupations are swept from our conscience, into the alleys of our streets, in the corners of our city and our collective minds. If they are ever to come to end, their myriad effects must be recognized, unearthed, uncovered, demystified , and exposed!
